For The Price & Conditions, I Would Play Elsewhere
There are some good and bad things about playing Tapawingo (Woodlands/Prairie). Let's start with the bad:
The tee boxes are awful. Many of the tees had weeds growing on them. Many had no grass. The grass around the tees were not mowed on the first few holes.
They are struggling with fringes and the grass next to the fringes. They have many sodded areas and the nearby grass is brown and looks dead.
The bunkers were not raked.
The greens were ok but nothing special.
For a weekend price of $68, I expect more.
The good things about Tapawingo...
The pro staff and restaurant staff are excellent. One of the best hot dogs you can have.
They are allowing more holes you can take a cart out to the fairways.
They have put in a directional pole for the tee shot on hole 5 (Woodlands)
I love the design of the Woodlands course except hole 8. The Prairie has some quality holes but some quirkiness.
Greens were horrible!!
Save your money! I just played the Woodlands and the greens were terrible! Please do your research before spending your hard earned money to play here. The greens were very long and bumpy. These courses need to be held accountable for the conditions for the money they are charging. Prime rates should = prime conditions!
Inconsistent Greens
Layout good, some holes in better shape than others. But holy cow he greens are visibly different - one furry one bare and something in between.
Literally the most inconsistent greens in the area in 2024 so far.
Awesome layout, bunkers not so much
Have played Tapawingo many times. The course and surrounding areas are top notch. Love that they have as many as 6-8 tee boxes on most holes which really makes you feel you are playing totally different golf holes. Great staff helpful and very polite. Nice practice facility, always open for the most part.
One complaint is the bunkers. Like most courses, they do not keep the bunkers up nearly as good as they could be. Greens and fairways were very good, but lots of sand and I was in it 3-4 times and just very unpredictable and some extremely hard to use.
Great fun course
Second time to play! Course is fun and well kept! The Woodlands nine is a bit tricky, but fun!!
Great course!
We played the woodlands nine was very challenging but fun! Need to play again to learn it better!!
Always great
Course is always in great condition no matter the time of year. Staff is friendly and take care of you. Food/drinks are good and fairly priced. Overall my favorite place to play in St Louis.
Great course
Great course
Would have been nice to drive to the ball..
Didn't see a reason to not be able to drive the carts on the fairway.
5 Stars all the way.
Some of the greens had been over seeded and were slow as noted by small signs on those green. What a nice thought by management. This over seeding is indicative of a management that is striving to keep their club top notch! Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏
